75-Ω CABLE ASSEMBLY
 |
New 75-Ω cable assembly features a new series of BNC-dig connectors that were developed specifically for the demanding requirements of HDTV and DTV broadcast applications. The BNC-dig is a true 75-Ω connector, whereas standard BNC cable plugs typically have a return loss of -14dB, the BNC-dig connector's typical return loss is -30 dB or better at frequencies up to 3 GHz. This cable assembly can be used for transmitting data rates greater than 1.5 Gbit/s and with an effective bandwidth of 2.4 GHz. TELEGARTNER, FRANKLIN PARK, IL

COAXIAL ASSEMBLY
 |
The WetNoodle is a coaxial cable assembly DC - 18 GHz for high vibration environments requiring extreme flexibility. It was designed to eliminate vibration effects in sensitive microwave systems requiring extreme flexibility. It features a PFTE tape small diameter (0.091", 2.29 mm) tape wrapped jacket. The WetNoodle name reflects the finished assembly's physical lightweight feel (jacketed weight 0.015 lbs/ft) and flexibility. Available connectors are SSMP, SMP, MCX, SMC, SMB and SMA, maximum length 100 ft, (30.48 m), SWR 1.35:1 max -18 GHz, operating temperature -65 - +200°C. MEGAPHASE, STROUDSBURG, PA

BACKPLANE ASSEMBLY
 |
The new EYE-OPENER ZD Cable Assembly for the ZD backplane interface, uses expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) as the dielectric core for the digital interconnect cable. The helically wrapped ePTFE core ensures controlled electrical properties throughout the signal path. Its smaller diameter and minimum bend radius, combined with the low dielectric constant materials, allows more signal lines per area and delivers higher bandwidth performance more consistently than other comparable cable configurations. The cable assembly offers a consistent combination of low signal loss, low cross talk, low skew, controlled capacitance, and controlled impedance. W.L. GORE, ELKTON, MD

FAN-OUT ASSEMBLIES
 |
These new compact, durable, and cost-effective, fan-out assemblies utilizes Concours Optical Circuit technology. These fan-out assemblies transition one or more multi-fiber ribbons into individual 900 µm buffered fibers for termination to any single-fiber or duplex connector type. The transition is protected with a compact hard backing that adds strength to the low profile design. This product is an excellent choice for all optical module boxes and enclosures. The streamlined fan-out design minimizes the transition space required for multi-fiber ribbon to individual buffered fibers by eliminating the traditional, cumbersome breakout box.

WIRING MODULES
 |
These new modules enable quick connection to the inline automation system's discrete input/output terminals. Wiring time is considerably reduced and is done in just three steps. The new front adapters are easily plugged into the 8-, 16- and 32-channel inline automation terminals and linked to the varioface modules using pre-assembled system cables. Using a 32-channel inline high-density automation terminal and an interposing relay level requires 30% less space and offers far more flexibility than an integrated relay solution.

ANTENNA CABLE
 |
A new series of interconnection solutions for radio and wireless communication networks are available. Optimized for operation from 0.8 to 11 GHz, this new line offers Type N and 7/16 straight and right-angle configurations to accommodate RG213, RG214 flex cable, and all popular diameters of air dielectric, foam dielectric, and super-flexible transmission cables. All connectors are designed with a captivated inner contact and reduced number of piece parts to facilitate quick assembly to the cable. Intermodulation values (IMP3) of <-155dBc/2 × 20W are typical based on a proprietary non-ferrous plating process. COMPEL ELECTRONICS, HARVARD, MA

TEST CABLE
 |
The SilverLine test cable series is for field, laboratory, and production test applications. Silverline test cable offers better phase stability in flexing and greater ruggedness than other test cables. Passivated stainless steel connectors, a rugged solder/clamp attachment, and multiple-layer strain-relief boots are standard. Silverline test cable with solid Teflon dielectric and a triple shield system has a long flex life and exceptional performance. These test cables are available with SMA-male, N-male and female, and 7-mm connector options. The assemblies are available for use at up to 6 GHz or 18 GHz. TIMES MICROWAVE SYSTEMS, WALLINGFORD, CT
